As you've probably noticed, the transition is underway. There is an
unanticipated file conflict between the new perl package and
libjson-pp-perl. Fixed packages are being prepared; if you have
libjson-pp-perl installed, I suggest waiting until a fixed version of
libjson-pp-perl and perl has been uploaded before dist-upgrading your
sid systems. See #648893 and #648897 for more details.
Thanks,
Dominic.
